If you have an incident of a criminal nature, please report it to your local SAPS. We are aware that procedures may take time, but the SAPS Station Commanders are aware of community concerns when reporting crimes and have been addressing them with their staff. I am sure that we will all see an improvement in the various charge offices as SAPS officials take heed of our concerns. Please note that KSS cannot open a case for you – YOU need to report and open your own cases with SAPS.

The 65 children of Heritage House Preschool delighted their parents, families and friends with their wonderful production of ‘Old MacDonald’s Farm’.

There was evidence of many hours of planning to great detail and lots of hard work in preparation of superb stage props and funky costumes.

As usual children never fail to entertain, even if a little off-beat at times! This was truly a colourful production with many charming characters.

‘Gary and I representing Knight Security Solutions, our Howick SAPS Station Commander, two additional SAPS representatives and two community representatives met with our uMngeni Municipality Mayor on Thursday morning 16 November. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the safety and security of our uMngeni Municipal area and what proactive “policing” measures can be implemented in order to ensure this. We were well received and a future meeting has been requested.

Relaunch of the Community Bobbies Patrol (CBP) Project
The meeting held at the new KSS offices on Wednesday 15 November with various community role-players was very positive and further information was requested about our Community Bobbies Patrol Project in Howick North. I will be sending out a more detailed brief later next week. Thank you all for the positive responses and support. SAPS representatives were also at the meeting.

Operations
KSS operations staff along with Howick SAPS have ensured the proactive “policing” has been taking place in various areas of Howick over the past 2 weeks and it has yielded positive results. Thank you to those members of the public who have shown their support. Please note that covert operations are not publicised but be assured that there is action being taken by the right people and organisations to ensure better safety and security in our community. The reality is that no community is immune to crime but if we can deflect it away from our uMngeni Municipal area by being proactive, then we have achieved our objectives.’ shared Debbie Preston in the latest Knight Security Solutions Newsletter.
